15½ Regeln für die Zukunft

Anleitung zum visionären Leben

A manifesto in lectures about the material conditions and absurdities of being a writer and adjunct professor under capitalism-by turns funny, angry, despairing, and hopeful-from a writer who "has invented a new form" (Annie Ernaux). 
 
 In the spring of 2025, Heroines and Drifts author Kate Zambreno taught a weeklong nonfiction "craft" lecture at Columbia University, thinking through the crises of the adjunct loop in the United States and the question of labor and writing in publishing and the university. This project became more absurd, and more urgent, as the Trump administration quickly turned to authoritarianism and the university became complicit with the administration, creating a dystopian and paranoid atmosphere in which students were kidnapped from university housing and student protestors were expelled. How can we study together and create under such conditions? 
 
 The resulting essays are funny, angry, often in despair, and somehow also full of optimism as to the future of writing, even amidst the collapse of the institutions meant to support writers and students. Zambreno engages with texts including Sofia Samatar's Opacities, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's The Undercommons, Noémi Lefebvre's The Poetics of Work, Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate, and Samuel Delaney's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. 
 
 A craft book against a "craft" divorced from political and material realities, Against Nonfiction is for anyone trying to write and make art in impossible times.

Writing Through Capitalist Realisms

Against Nonfiction

Palgrave Studies in Technology and Innovation in Africa

Over the past two decades,&nbsp;Southern&nbsp;African countries have gained&nbsp;increasing recognition&nbsp;in&nbsp;global agricultural markets, yet they continue to face significant&nbsp;internal&nbsp;and&nbsp;external&nbsp;challenges. Domestically, low productivity, limited production capacity,&nbsp;and&nbsp;weak trade structures constrain agricultural growth&nbsp;and&nbsp;competitiveness. Externally, restricted access to agricultural finance&nbsp;and&nbsp;modern technologies, together with&nbsp;institutional limitations, further impede progress. Moreover, climate change disproportionately affects farming&nbsp;systems&nbsp;across the region,&nbsp;intensifying vulnerability&nbsp;and&nbsp;food&nbsp;insecurity. This contributed volume brings together scholarly research on&nbsp;sustainable&nbsp;food&nbsp;systems&nbsp;in&nbsp;Southern&nbsp;Africa, key&nbsp;challenges&nbsp;to sustainability,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the policy frameworks shaping the region’s agricultural transformation. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainability, the rural economy, food supply chains and agritech, as well as on business in Africa more broadly.Tanyaradzwa Rukasha

Domestically, low productivity, limited production capacity, and weak trade structures constrain agricultural growth and competitiveness. Externally, restricted access to agricultural finance and modern technologies, together with institutional limitations, further impede progress.

This contributed volume brings together scholarly research on sustainable food systems in Southern Africa, key challenges to sustainability, and the policy frameworks shaping the region’s agricultural transformation.

Sustainable Food Systems

A bold, hopeful argument for using our oceans to meet the worldwide need for food, renewable energy, and economic well-being without sacrificing the health of the planet As the world struggles to feed humanity, fuel economies and trade, and fulfill global energy needs, companies and governments are rushing to the vast blue expanse that covers two-thirds of our planet. But should we let them? A Sea of Wealth makes the provocative case for why we must harness the ocean—and demonstrates how we can do so wisely. Blending the latest science with engaging personal stories from a lifetime spent in and around the ocean, Ben Halpern takes readers around the globe to explore five key resources in the rapidly emerging blue economy: food, energy, transport, minerals, and carbon. He carefully considers what each has to offer, their environmental risks, and how they compare to land-based alternatives, while wrestling with his own feelings about using the sea. The danger is that industry and government will push too fast, too far into the ocean. Yet these expanding uses could provide environmental solutions at a planetary scale. A timely book by one of the world’s most influential environmental scientists, A Sea of Wealth tackles the question of whether we should halt or encourage the exploitation of our oceans and their untold resources—the answers may surprise you.

Bringing a Knife to a Gunfight

The US Innovation War with China

What nobody tells you about power, money, and winning in business There is a moment most executives recognize but rarely talk about. You're sitting in a meeting where the language is polite, the slide deck is professional, and everyone in the room knows someone is about to get destroyed. The budget. The team. The product. The career. They call it a strategic review. What it actually is? A knife fight with better lighting. Business isn't fair. Meritocracy is largely a fiction. The people who talk like sages are usually improvising behind the scenes, and the gap between the official version of how companies work and what actually happens inside them is exactly where careers are built-or quietly ended. The Trick Is Not Minding That It Hurts is the book that lives in that gap. It is a blunt, unsentimental field guide to how the system actually works and how to survive it without losing your sanity. After two decades inside the world's most competitive environments-including senior leadership roles at Facebook, Alibaba, and Expedia, followed by years in the private equity trenches-Lee McCabe has seen how power is built, how decisions are really made, and why the "official story" is often the most dangerous one to believe. If you are ready to stop being naive and start navigating the real world of business, this is your guide.

What Nobody Tells You About Power, Money, and Winning in Business

The Trick Is Not Minding That It Hurts

Lead your organization's transition from linear operations to circular economy practices In Disrupt the Linear: Leadership Blueprint for a Circular Economy, two leadership and change management scholars present a method for bottom-up leadership that drives sustainability transformation in business and society. Drawing on the construct of Appreciative Intelligence, a competency for innovation developed through decades of work with senior managers across for-profit, government, and non-profit organizations, this book provides a practical path forward. Disrupt the Linear equips leaders with a solution-oriented and innovative mindset for implementing circular economy transition in the every-day practices of their organizations. The authors draw on consulting experience with clients including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, IBM, General Mills, 3M, and British Petroleum to present approaches that connect visionary thinking with concrete implementation strategies. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>A framework for bottom-up leadership focused on the wellbeing of people and the planet across organizational contexts</li> <li>Insights on how individuals in for-profit, government, and non-profit organizations can start innovating circular economy practices</li> <li>Methods grounded in Appreciative Intelligence, a research-based construct linking innovation competency to leadership development outcomes</li> <li>Practical approaches for leading sustainability transformation informed by over 30 years of consulting and teaching experience</li> <li>Strategies for navigating disruptive change while building solution-oriented and innovative mindsets throughout your organization</li> </ul> Written for consultants, business and technology managers, development specialists, and project coordinators working across sectors, Disrupt the Linear provides a leadership approach for anyone seeking to implement circular economy practices within their organization's operations and contribute to broader sustainability transformation.

Leadership Blueprint for a Circular Economy

Disrupt the Linear

For decades, the US assumed ideas would naturally flow from research into commercialization. That assumption no longer holds. As Anne Marie Knott shows, the US innovation system is no longer fit for purpose in an age of great-power rivalry. Since 1980, American R&amp;D productivity has fallen dramatically, while China has become far better at turning R&amp;D into growth. Why? Because the two countries operate from fundamentally different models of innovation. The United States follows a 'river' logic: produce frontier science and trust the market to carry discoveries downstream. China follows a 'lake' logic: absorb, develop, diffuse, and capture value. Drawing on new empirical research and a widely applicable measure of R&amp;D productivity, Knott challenges seven myths shaping US innovation policy and offers a reform agenda built less on new spending than on using existing tools far more effectively. The result is a provocative account of innovation, growth, and national power.

In a world of tremendous change, uncertainty, and simplistic AI-driven answers, it is easy to look to an uncertain future with anxiety. In The Leader's Oracle, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer Roopa Unnikrishnan shows that the wisest leaders instead look to the ancient past for inspiration. By channeling the Oracle of Delphi, these leaders ask better questions and challenge their organizations to transform. Offering a provocative lens on the future of strategic leadership, The Leader's Oracle is not just a book about strategy—it is a call for a cultural shift in how we lead, how we think, and how we build organizations. Through this uniquely powerful framework, readers examine and harness the timeless wisdom of the ancients to help their own business and career: <ul><li>operate at the edge of clarity</li><li>interpret patterns and possibilities</li><li>provoke transformation, not comfort </li><li>serve the powerful, but answer to the truth</li><li>protect future-facing wisdom in a reactive world</li></ul> This unique framework on business strategy and leadership explores a critical paradox in today’s corporate environment: in a world obsessed with operational excellence and short-term wins while struggling with historic transformational changes, we often neglect the voices of the long-term thinkers, the strategic questioners, the ones who highlight or introduce ambiguity to force clarity. The Leader's Oracle serves as a call to arms for leaders, board members, and aspiring strategists to embrace their inner Delphic voice—one that cuts through noise, evokes questions, and drives tectonic shifts, not just tactical maneuvers.
